across the country, are actually encouraging males to spend less time with their children. These judges

are making it more difficult for fathers to remain integral parts of their children’s lives. We are working

to stop this practice.

I filed a Pdl in Franklin county Missouri to receive 50/50 custody of my 10 month old daughter. Her mother and I split almost 6 months ago. My visits have been limited to a few hours a week up til recent changes that allow me one overnight every other week. I currently have a 50/50 split with my two other older children from a previous divorce. I need any guidance you can give me to protect my rights as my daughter’s father and not end up just being a “Paycheck” for her mom. I love my kids wholeheartedly and this has been the worst thingmive ever had to deal with.

I’m so sorry for your situation. Family Court is more like a dictatorship and not so much about justice.
Are you close to Jefferson City? A few of us will be in Jefferson City next Wednesday to lobby our legislators for quick reform of family court system. If you could get there, maybe we could meet and talk. One website that comes to mind is fixfamilycourts.com. It has a wealth of information, it’s just hard to find a lawyer who will act on it.
Let me know if you can meet us next Wednesday, February 11.
